There's a fair bit of sex in the <i>Early Years</i> books—I mean, not <i>flagrante delicto</i>, but definitely steamy nudity—and in some of the <i>Monstres</i> and <i>Twilight</i> volumes as well. <br /><br />I mean, none of it (except one volume illustrated by Killoffer) is in bad taste or upsetting, but you might find yourself having to explain things you didn't intend to explain to AZ yet, if you gave the books to her without checking them over first.Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529618611083147320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290662109425559453.post-28703345088022629412012-05-22T17:11:08.805-04:002012-05-22T17:11:08.805-04:00I've never read that...maybe I should get it f...I've never read that...maybe I should get it for AZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290662109425559453.post-41247702325977454872012-05-22T01:09:12.463-04:002012-05-22T01:09:12.463-04:00...and another thing: I think that this image solv......and another thing: I think that this image solves the problems of static hovering that plagued the image of Hezekiah Sugata attacking Isaac Trondheim back in a much-loved (by me) Doodle Penance image:<br /><br />http://satisfactorycomics.blogspot.com/2009/02/special-doodle-penance-double-hezekiah.html<br /><br />Ye gods, is that really over 3 years old?

There's a particular volume of <i>Monstres</i>, indeed, that more than lives up to the title. But I can hardly think of a comic that I find more inspiring or more engaging than <i>Dungeon</i>.<br /><br />Leah, you will love the creature designs. Ben, you will love the play with D&D-style tropes. You'll both love the coloring, the cartooning (in most volumes), and the rambunctious humor. <br /><br />Ben: you will especially want to get the <i>Early Years</i> volumes, as they're illustrated by your fave Christophe Blain.<br /><br />I was counting on Mike to make a comment on "Octopuce" vs. "Octoflea," since he had pointed it out to me years ago. I'm sure that's not the only way <i>Dungeon</i> suffers in translation. (I really can't stand NBM's computer lettering, for example, though I know they're doing their best.)Isaachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06529618611083147320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290662109425559453.post-59245228718916485402012-05-21T17:10:21.299-04:002012-05-21T17:10:21.299-04:00Re: names--while I have not had the pleasure of re...Re: names--while I have not had the pleasure of reading any <i>Donjon</i> volumes in French, I can tell you right now that "Octoflea" must be an attempt to render the name "Octopuce," which would be a homophone for the normal French word for octopus (spelled "octopus") but which includes the normal French word for flea (i.e., "puce"). As great as <i>Dungeon</i> is in English, and as visually awesome in any language, I think it's bound to be verbally richer in its original French. (Actually, it might be visually better, too, since the French albums tend to be bigger than the English-language versions!)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718383312170645138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290662109425559453.post-81059809508226545282012-05-21T15:26:50.735-04:002012-05-21T15:26:50.735-04:00Fabulous flying fez & fierce 'flea!
